Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Renovating an old bass pond

I recently moved on an 8 acre pond in SC that I will be taking over the management of and have some questions. The pond has an ok LB population but the bass are skinny, most are 10-12" the rest are 4 to 10#. I see signs of brim beds but not what I would think are a lot. The pond does have a lot of white perch. Water quality is good. Now the questions. Are the white perch as bad for the pond as I think? How could I get rid of them? What is the best bait to stock..crayfish, fathead minnows, thread fins?

Thanks for your help...
